The aggravation over the failure of the turbine blade at Vinyard Wind continues to escalate. The foam and fiberglass that have plagued Nantucket all summer finally made it to Martha’s Vineyard. It seems appropriate, given the offshore farm’s name. But these alien invaders were not so quickly dispatched as the “migrants” were last year. In part because the foam, fiberglass, and microplastics keep coming. This makes the beach less safe, but it does play into the Left’s plastic in the ocean narrative – just not in any way they’ll like to admit.
The wrongness of it has deprived us of any photos of sealife handicapped by the energy transition. No turtles, whales, or dolphins with debris trapped in an orifice. That would be counterproductive to the approved environmental narrative. Wind is good, or so they claim, typically after receiving donations from global conglomerates looking to profit from offshore wind (sorry, only fossil fuel companies do that – my bad). We did, however, get a fisherman’s protest.
I expect that this will be about as effective as similar protests in the Granite State regarding Wind farms in the Gulf of Maine. We don’t have any turbines yet, but the environmental lobby and the Feds are fast-tracking it without regard to public input just in case Democrats lose the White House—political science, not actual science. Warnings, evidence, danger, or public objection are inconvenient truths to be ignored. Full speed ahead!
